I just _assumed_ that was proper to ensure that stale files are not left lingering after code has been moved/removed. Is this behaviour being changed for some reason? If it is, or if anyone is thinking about making installworld use -C everywhere, please don't. One notable exception to this seems to be /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 which uses -C for some reason. You don't want to remove _that_ by mistake :). -Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
